Believe it or not, The Lost Boys was originally supposed to be a more wholesome, Peter Pan-inspired vampire movie. But following the success of St. Elmo's Fire, director Joel Schumacher turned the project into a sexy, gory, and politically subversive teenage classic that changed the way vampires would be portrayed in Hollywood for decades to come. While it still holds up as one of the better vampire films ever made, there's probably a lot you don't know about this cult classic. So grab your leather jacket, hold onto the rails, and check out the untold truth of The Lost Boys...

Cannot believe they didn't mention the soundtrack..... That was the best soundtrack. I think it actually went platinum. Amazing grouping of artists and songs.
I know
@bee boo iirc, a new cd was 20 USD back then. 100 times its production cost.
@bee boo Overcompensating like Gary Coleman's Hummer and tantrum after Vanilla Ice joked about frying him.
(people are strange when u a stranger faces look ugly when you're alone)that's my shit
This past September I found the cassette in my parents attic!
They still play it on a giant screen on the beach annually in Santa Cruz. Long live The Lost Boys!
shmackatrotsky when I visited Santa Cruz a couple of years ago I was amazed they weren't really trading on the film having been set there. No merch on the boardwalk. No plaques, no statues. When you go into the little shop that was Max's video store it's like the current owners don't realise their little shop was in the film. No merch/ fridge magnets etc for sale. Great town though and totally stoked I got to visit.
shmackatrotsky now that is cool
dendonedid thats very cool that you were able to visit. its probably changed owners several times and has been forgotten in time.....sorta
We’re very proud of our vampire reputation on Santa Cruz. After all, it is the murder capital of the world.
@@adrianbryand440 Do they still screen Lost Boys on the beach?
Best line: "You're a VAMPIRE! I'm telling Mom!"
Your Fabulous Happy Mann 😂😂😂 Just saw this movie last night...the soundtrack is so Kickass, Lost Boys wins hands down in the ultimate vampire flick, I feel sorry for the kids from this generation who have no idea what this is...
Actually the line is: You're a vampire, Michael! My own brother, a goddamn shit-sucking vampire! You wait 'til Mom finds out, buddy!
WRONG!!🔫 "YOURE ONE OF US MICHAEL, MY BLOOD RUNS IN YOUR VEINS"
"Wait till I tell mom!"
O u wait til mom's hear about this 😂😂😂😂 my own a blood sucking vampire
I been watching this movie for the last 30 years.who's with me
Lossii Burns with you
Im 41 I remember going to the movies 2 c lost Boyz and been watching it ever since
14 lol😂
Meeeeeee!
This movie will always be the best
A piece of my teen years. I lived in Santa Cruz, worked as a ride operator at the Boardwalk (right after they filmed the movie, unfortunately), and went to high school with all the punk rock kids they showed in the opening credits.

Still to this day.....I think "Grandpa" is going to turn into a Werewolf, in that last scene at the refrigerator drinking his soda......
jptang1701 Lol I seriously think the grandpa was a vampire hunter. All those “dates” he went on at night all the time... he was defo a vampire hunter! Plus the end shows he obviously knew about the vampires 🙂
Wow Candlehead! I think you have an excellent theory there! Especially the sharpened spikes he conveniently had in his truck.....
Damn, the sequel that never was.....
"All the damn vampires...."
jptang1701 Haha! Thank you! It’s just something I always thought whenever I watched this movie growing up.
Man, it really would have been an awesome sequel, grandpa, Sam and the Frog brothers killin’ all the damn vampires together 👍🏻😁 🧛♂️
jptang1701 I just checked on wikia and the fan page for grandpa actually says “he enjoys killing vampires” ... looks like my theory might have been right all these years lol 👍🏻
Why would you think he would turn into a WEREWOLF?? Why not a vampire???
Is it me, or does Michael remind you of Jim Morrison?
Renee Russell ...he did ..there is a poster of Jim on the cave wall in the movie .
Yes damn it I came to say I had the same Morrison poster from their cave in my bedroom
They also played People are Strange on repeat from the Doors in the movie
@@SebastianRamirez-sm7zp - "People are Strange" by the Doors, yes, but the version in the movie is a cover by the great 80's band Echo and the Bunnymen, which is a good cover
That was a connection they were trying to make in the movie.
for some reason the line "where homosexuals and vampires can live in the open" made me laugh aloud

In the 80's the music and the movies were a lot better. Good times. 👍
You got that right bro!
"Good Times" by INXS was a feature in the soundtrack
Amen to that!!!
That isn't entirely true
@@migatron1 Yes it is true so STFU HATER.
This is one of the best classic movies of the 80s ever
Parents showed me this movie when I was 8 and I liked it lol prob around '93
This and Near Dark are two of the best vamp flix,imo!!
Not just the 80's ever
I was in the Army stationed at nearby Fort Ord when this movie was being filmed in Santa Cruz. My friends and I would hang out at the boardwalk almost every weekend. One time we went they had the boardwalk blocked off and we ask the security guard why and he said they're making some damn vampire movie!
I think we know there’s more to the two Coreys busted careers than “ill advised personal and professional decisions”
They both were in some great films with the time they had.

This movie will always be one of my all time favorites
Uncle Homey agreed...classic imo.❤
Without a doubt the best in history untouchable classic
*This was a good movie ✅😀*
It was
@@Will_Smiley what you mean
I love this movie and have been watching it since I was a kid. I’ve always enjoyed them driving into town and the mom changing the radio station and stopping on the “People are strange” song which set the tone for the movie. Then Michael is looking for a job and asks Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers if there’s any work and he says “nothing legal” lol classic!
I spent every summer at of the 1970s at Santa Cruz, and man, the runaways were flooding the town! There were very dangerous areas but we always just went for the boardwalk, the Lost Boys vampires looked exactly like all the kids there.
The movie was 87.
70s
I kinda figured all the vampires already had sex with star by the time Michael shows up lol
Star was supposed to be the bait to draw Michael to the den where she was supposed to be his first kill, thus making her a full vampire. That's why the other vampires backed off of her.
Thought that too... or maybe a little sister lol
Town pump. For sure.
Elasari hahaha same
Same thats why I thought the whole motorcycle dominance scene happened and the whole hatred between them in the first place came from a place of jealousy. I wouldve loved this to be a book series instead of sequels just kept the first one a film
Best 80's movies: The Lost Boys, Ferris Bueller's day off + The Breakfast Club
Aaaaand weird science
Uhhh and Back to the Future...
and Sixteen Candles
Fast times at ridgemont high
Ground hog day,ghostbusters, rocky, rambo,robocop to many to mention
Irony: Feldman's quote about the character he played taking himself to seriously and being laughed at went RIGHT over his head.
This is one of those movies that I can still watch whenever it comes on TV
I always thought Michael looked like Jim Morrison. Great movie though. Couldn't bring myself to watch the 2nd movie.
Or you know, Michael Hutchence aka the lead singer from INXS, who also had a song on the soundtrack.
Samantha Donaldson it's not that bad lol
Yes but NOBODY played him better than Val Kilmer!!!
Yes & they had that Jim Morrison poster in the cave 😂
Maybe that’s why David wanted Michael so bad ;)
One of my favorite movies of all time.:)
Jason Bean The guy with the saxophone stole the show 🎷
This movie and "Near Dark" are two of my all time favourites!
KOB KOB, I believe that was Danzing!
the 1980's...when vampires were actually scary..........good times
Yep agreed. Awesome movie. Still got my original vhs copy of it.
FrightNight the LostBoys and NearDark were the best vampire movie's of the 80's not forgetting Vamp.
Indeed!
Mike Lykan Yaassss!
Mike Lykan wow someone remembers vamp. Awsome classic.
Blue Sky Yeah Grace Jones was a badass looking vampire..lol
Vamp, a forgotten gem!
Near Dark is also great, I don't like Fright Night so much because of the annoying dude with the squeaky voice.
Michael star of David.
Edgar and Allen Frog from Edgar Allen Poe.
I'd love for a relationship of all the names in the movie.
My dad showed me this when I was 4 years old, loved it ever since and turned me on to The Doors
There was a poster of jim Morrison in the cave i think
During the 80’s they should have made a doors movie featuring Jason Patric. He resembles Jim Morrison
loved this movie. my sons and I watched the movie over and over again. love the very end when the old man remarks about all the damn vampires..
classic.. classic..
One of the best Vamp movies made
oni zuka sorry, hit accidentally while scrolling.
Sorry
Now this movie is an 80s classic! And I would say one of the best vampire movies ever made.
Still a great soundtrack.
Lodogg 3323 My cassette tape messed up. I need a new one. (not a cassette, lol)
I was wondering if they would ever mention Corey Haim's name. I haven't seen any sequels.
Recovering Soul, the sequels aren’t that good, but... still worth watching. And you can find the soundtrack on CD or probably iTunes.
I went into this strip club in the early 2000s where this absolutely hot as hell stripper did her dance routine to "Cry Little Sister". I wanted to get with her so bad... and she could tell. She offered me a threesome with her (also amazingly hot) fellow stripper friend for $300. Thankfully I didn't have the money. I would hate to have to pay to get something I could never get rid of.
"Cryyyyyyyyyyyyy little sister!"
Khorzho man, I'm a little disappointed my friend.. you only live once... Unless you drink David's blood..
But that was your calling, was he name star???
I had crazy times with a chick named star, then she turned out to be a stripper.. ah, good times
Too bad these kids were working for monsters. If I were a parent I wouldn't take them anywhere near California.
Corey Heyman actually did make an appearance in the sequel to Lost Boys. He actually became a vampire. They showed him towards very the end
Ive always thought 'The Lost Boys' was more about. drugs (heroin) in my opinion, it just felt like it made more sense, with the story line. For example when Micheal is transforming, for example him staying in bed during the day, his personal hygiene, peer pressure to drink the blood which is symbolic of taken drugs, the lost boys themselves are the dealers and Max is the main head the big dealer/supplier has anyone else ever thought this to be the case? it does not matter because what a classic ...
My brother and I must have watched this amazing film over 300 times, we absolutely loved this film, still to this day is one of my favorite films ever. The film industry sure do not make them like they used to.... Peace
yeah, nowadays, it's all about emotional sparkling vampires.....[insert puke sound]
ironically the boy that the movie is based on they are gay. look it up. just like interview with a vampire
+THY KINGDOM COME/ THE DAY OF THE LORD book
THY KINGDOM COME/ THE DAY OF THE LORD Lmao...troll.
Ha yeah your right. only if tinkerbell was normal size, permently she is the one for Peter really.
It was a real vampire movie because it had no sparkling vampires.
LOL,Twilight XD
No sparkling vampires? What are you talking about? Watch the movie again. When the Frog brothers come up from the vampire hideout, they're covered in vampire blood....sparkly vampire blood. On top of that, the vampire that dies during the "death by stereo" scene is VERY sparkly.
You didn't see them in the daytime.
Neutron Pixie he's talking about the gay movie twilight. Which are sparkling fairies.
As I always say, vampire should not be covered in sparkles, they should be covered in blood.
I watched the movie during my first trip to the US in 2019, on my way from Yosemite to Santa Cruz. It definitely made the experience all the more special and the movie, along with its soundtrack became one of my favourites :)
MAN‼️ This is my favorite movie of all time🤗🤗. Movie night my father came home with the tape 📼 it was vhs back then and we were all saying😱 ( oh no not another movie that sucks) but a couple minutes into it, we knew it was a winner🤗 and till this day I still watch and enjoy my LOST BOYS # Thy shall not fallll‼️
Deneen Smith
Thy shall not fall.
Cry little sister
A classic... And a movie along with the Goonies. I passed it down to my own kids.Who they have all watched both 100s of times
the saxophone guy, lol
Just saw him at chiller, he still believes ☺
haha no way!
Saxophone guy is Tim Cappello, an actual musician that has played with Peter Gabriel and Tina Turner. Watch any live concert of hers, you'll see Tim on stage playing sax and keyboards.
valen thayne hahaha damn now thats funny!!!
I made my own meme of that once with a picture I snapped on my phone. Its one of my favorite pieces of the movie!!! Danzig meets Michael Bolton lol
Without the original Fright Night there would of never been Lost Boys...
Thank god they mentioned the Michael thing

One of the better... you mean one of the best... still top 5.
I'm so glad I'm 40,😃I got to see this great movie at the right time and in the right time. One of my all time favourites! It was soooo cool , that were great times
The best part about this movie was hands down Corey Haim's trench coat wardrobe in the Frog Bros comic book store.
Those are not Gay clothes , those were common for the 70, 80 and 90s more like rock-n-roll
Nah... They're gay clothes.
It’s mostly punk clothing and such but the lgbtq+ community were the ones who dominated that style and still do
Ben stiller would've ruined the film.
princessaz79 ABSOLUTELY WOULD HAVE RUINED IT
Hell yeah
I agree
I mean it probably would have worked. I thought the same about Affleck as Batman, same as Ledger as Joker... Now I just give em a chance.
Totallym kiefer sutherland was amazing. Even a remake of the movie was a bad idea
I watched it recently for first time in years and loved every minute from the superb opening scene,it was the look of santa Carla that really made for such a great iconic movie
Today's Twilight holds no candle to this.
I'm probably one of the only people in the first world who hasn't seen any of the Twilight movies....but I actually do plan to watch them. Maybe today, just to see what all the fuss is about.

I love this movie! And Corey Haim💙
Best vampire film. My all time favourite film.
Loved the two Corey's. Rip Corey H ❤
poor haim he always looked so gone
I LOVE this film. It is one of the few vampire films that stays true to the Gothic vision of the vampire as a villain instead of a romantic sex symbol. The film is an excellent balance of horror and light humor, and it’s meta-analysis of the conventions of vampire literature is presented very well. Diane Weiss, Kieffer Sutherland, and the two Cories turn in great performances.
I always wanted a Lost Boys-Fright Night crossover vampire horror movie in the same universe!
In The Lost Boys movie, did the grandfather know about the existence of vampires all that time? If so, the grandfather being a vampire hunter would make a great prequel.
They made a comic series based in The Lost Boys universe and it apparently tells of grandpa being a vampire hunter as well as vampire himself. He knew who Max was and was trying to find him for years. Being a vampire himself, he ate animals and it's said that that's the reason he has all those trophies in his house. The sax man (formally named The Believer in the comic) is in it too and is also a vampire hunter.

@@Smasho8000 wow there is a whole Lost Boys comics universe. Fright Night did as well..
There could be a Lost Boys+Fright Night television series if there was enough material in those comics.
This movie has been my definition of "cool" for most of my life...
Actually, I was one of those kids who was hanging out in Santa Cruz when Lost Boys was filmed. I even got to dance around one of the flaming trashcans during the outdoor festival scene for $50 or whatever they paid us (I think it was $50), but I don't think I actually made the cut into the film. But more interestingly was my meeting Jami Gertz one day while the filming was going on. I was on the boardwalk playing around with a bit of jewelry I was working on. It was a small stick with bronze wire wrapped around it, and a crystal wrapped on one end. Jami happened to walk by, and so I said Hi, and asked her if she could guess what it was. She was actually very nice, and we chatted for a minute or two. She didn't guess so I told her it was a 50 Megawatt Interdimensional Thought Laser. We both had a laugh over it and having a good time until ... guess who showed up? Yup. Jason Patric. So he comes storming over and starts yelling at her ... "What are you hanging out with this guy for?!" (you know I was one of the hippies in town in those days, so I was obviously beneath the Stars, blah blah blah). Anyway, he scooped her up and dragged her off, and that was that. Never saw her again. Honestly, I think she liked liked me. :)
Vb Wyrde...I liked your story...thanks for sharing it!!
Vb Wyrde Very cool story and at least you made her laugh
i slipped her the sausage under the bleachers
The movie was released in 1987, we can assume this was at least a year after filming.
With inflation, the $50 today would be worth somewhere in the region of $113, no one pays extras this kind of money, especially for dancing around a burning trash can for a couple of minutes.
Either your memory is waaay off, or I'm calling BS.
This is when movies didnt go over the top. They don't make um like this anymore. The substance is far more important, than over-the-top scenes. What I call: Overkill. Best vanpire movie, ever. I can't watch the junky vanpire movies, they come out with, these days. Again: overkill.
rob lowes abs lol i always questioned that. why he got a poster of a guy in his room.
Favorite vampire movie
interview with a vampire
@ s dew,,,dammit thats gonna be my second choice along with brams stockers dracula being 3rd,interview is so good but i didnt watch that movie 100 times when i was a kid after school like i did with lost boys...
Fright night 1984
I watch this movie at least a couple times a year.

Lost Boys wasn't really that campy. Sure, it had it's moments but it knew when to be serious at the appropriate times. Which made the movie as good as it is.
Maryssa No, it had campy moments but wasn't all around campy. From Dusk till Dawn is a better example of what's campy.
Maryssa Never saw those but it's definitely not the campiest level of a vampire movie. That's for sure. I just saw it and it held up pretty well for the most part. Having comedic moments does not mean it's "campy". Campy is on ta level of cheesiness like Dusk till Dawn had. Lost Boys isn't that campy. Name a specific scene that you think was campy.
Maryssa Not a girl, just my avatar for my channel but that bad huh? I'm pretty well versed on movies but that example just shows that Lost Boys wasn't all that campy. Just a few moments like I said. Things like bad specially effects is forgivable for the times but bad writing has always been bad writing. Whenever the grandpa made a slight joke in Lost Boys it was silly but not campy. It's something that an actual grandpa would say to his grandsons. However, you take a movie like Tango & Cash where they're having fun during a fight/action scene where they could be easily killed and are cracking cheesy one liners. THAT is campy. Lost Boys didn't do that at all. Every moment they were supposed to be scared they were. Humor and campy don't always correlate. Another perfect example of campy would be 1966's Batman. Nothing more campier than that... unless it's the movies you've mentioned. They did similar shit but in Lost Boys the only real cornball moments really were lines like "death by stereo" after he killed one of the vampires. Something like that. The hair, look and music were just a sign of the times which no movie can ever help unless it's a period piece. Look at Scarface! lol
Time Killing Fuel agreed, the dress sense may seem odd now, but at the time it seemed fine and now, all of the other elements are actually really dark and serious.
Golden moments it’s campy lol
Uh, the gay vampire thing is going a bit far. Evil Knievel couldn't even make that jump.
bob, lots of people pierced their ears back then. If you study the movie closely, you will see, it's a movie--A movie about vampires.
Aww shut up. They were kinda fruity
you are ridiculous Bob Blow. The movie isn't about homosexuals. Just because you are doesn't mean everything else is.
Stormeyworld
It's pretty gay, dude
Joel Schumacher directed it. everything he does has a gay aura about it. look what he did with Batman & Robin, nipples on the batsuit with big codpieces, C'mon?
“Cry little sister” hits different 🥴
It would be great to find a place for Feldman in Stranger things season 3.

Was at the boardwalk for the films 30th anniversary this last year.
The beach started to flood (tide was coming in) and ruin the screening and all of a sudden everyone teamed together and built this sand wall to block the surf. It was crazy and awesome
A fucking classic
Awww Corey Haim.. I miss him
Yea me too that was so sad what happen to him
i’ve been watching this since i was 7. i know every single detail in this movie.
Awesome flick. Insanely underrated.
To this day it's still my favorite movie of all time. I can quote every line verbatim. "It's not cheese. It's not garlic. I bet ya hate garlic don't ya!?!"
Jack Bauer is the reason I have the hots for vampires.
A bit of a stretch comparing the gay community to vampires. Especially the people killing, blood drinking type of vampire. Not sure that the latter could be construed as "misunderstood".

I was thinking the exact same thing.
The vampire scene has always had a loose connection with representation of gay communities. Look at Interview with a Vampire as a prime example.
I never picked that up watching the Lost Boys. I always thought of the girl of being like a sister to some of the guys. It seemed more of a street gang that turned family that turned vampire!
Exactly!
The director of the film, Joel Schumacher, is actually gay. So there any subtle LGBTQ references in the movie were probably not entirely accidental...
Just a timeless CLASSIC.. long live the 80's.... what an incredible cast! Perfect!
I can remember seeing this coming to theaters back in the 80s laying in the floor watching a 27 inch big screen box tv..lol people of today wont ever exspiernce the life i lived in the 80s best time of my life stone washed holy pants knees cut out an eastland shoes an an a big loose t-shirt an denim levi jacket..An a walkman cassette player with some guns an roses...lord them days are gone...god bless u all...
best vampire movie ever!
I had that same Rob Lowe poster on my bedroom wall...hahahaha
My favourite film. R.I.P Hiem. Huge respect Feldman, so sorry for both. your bad experiences. Take power and respect from all your fans . You made a masterpiece even still today
That soundtrack was EVERYTHING!
One of my favourite films growing up.
Also, as for the sequels, there is only one, and it's a comic that came out sometime back. Check it out if you haven't.
Still in my top 3 favorite movies of all time.
I’ve literally watch this movie multiple times a day! Usually I’ll turn it on before bed since I know it so well it’s usually easily to fall asleep not because it’s boring! This is only all time favorite movie! Just overall great from the cast to the type of movie and way of being made!
I saw this movie in theaters with my mother when it premiered. It was an amazing experience. I am now 38 years old.
Hey, I used to live in Santa Cruz! Best surf around
G.O.A.T Vamp Movie
'Near Dark' also came out the same year, directed by Kathryn Bigelow. It is also considered the; G.O.A.T Vampire movie in one way or another!
I've been a vamp fan since Bela Lugosi Hammer films Dark Shadows Forever Knight! and a whole lot more!
This movie is the quintessential reason why I was so grateful to watch this movie at 10 years old. It had and still has such an impact on me and reminds me how awesome my childhood truly was.
Iconic film & a top soundtrack!
For the FULL story on the making of The Lost Boys, grab a copy of LOST IN THE SHADOWS; THE STORY OF THE LOST BOYS. Exceptional book!!!!!
one of my fav. classic 80's movies
One of my favorites..back in the early 90s..and the Goonies..im missing .my elementary days ESPACIALLY 5th grade
I wouldn’t mind a little something on Interview With the Vampire. It is my favorite vampire movie.
Jay Nevermore gotta love that movie. My personal Anne Rice inspired movie is Queen of The Damned
I'd watch Peter Pan with a vampire twist
Hey dere
Now that was some great insider info....
If they hadn't taken so long to make the sequels then they could have done something cool like a prequel to the first film showing us the lives of david and the gang when they were human and how they became vampires, hell they could have made 4 movies focusing on each lost boy individually or make one about the boys and one about star or hell one about max since we saw so little of the vampire side of him instead of the trash movies that were made with the words "Lost boys" on them. And even if you say trash is a strong word for the sequels that we got...you have to admit that as vampire movies are concerned each sequel as a stand alone movie without the frog brothers side story in them aren't nearly as good as the first movie was.
This is one of my favorite movies
My favourite movie of all time! I felt a cool idea for a sequel could have been focused on Michael and Star. With Star (getting) pregnant that night she was with Michael in the cave, and they have a child. Because the child was conceived when Star was half vampire, the child itself is born with vampiric attributes.....
.....
That would be awesome.
Blade is half vampire
I could go for that but you forgot that Michael was a half vampire himself.
So, basically Blade, but white.
My holy trinity is lost boys, vamp, & interview with a vampire. No need for more.
Now after hearing what the original story was supposed to be I'm glad they changed it many years ago and we got this awesome vampire horror movie it is today.
